Apple has released the latest iteration of their popular video iPod for viewing photos, movies and playing music.

The new iPod offers a screen that’s 60% brighter than before, resulting in a more vibrant display on its 2.5-inch LCD screen.

Apple said the â€œnew iPod features seamless integration with iTunes 7 and the iTunes Store (www.itunes.com) which now includes over 75 Hollywood movies, 220 television shows and popular video games designed specifically for the fifth generation iPod.â€

The 30GB iPod sells for a lower price of $249 while the 80GB model sells at $349.
